About the book

Dante's Purgatorio is the second part of The Divine Comedy and follows the poet after his escape from Hell. Guided by Virgil, Dante climbs the mountain of Purgatory, where souls undergo purification before entering Heaven. The poem explores repentance, free will, hope and spiritual transformation, providing a more hopeful counterpart to the darkness of Inferno.
